	#9796: source-check broken for Git downloads
	#9866: BASE_DIR usage

2017.05-rc1, Released May 8th, 2017

	Fixes all over the tree and new features.

	Infrastructure:

	- Installed binaries are now checked for correct architecture
	  to catch natively built binaries or binaries built for other
	  architecture variants.

	- Luarocks infrastructure improvements to extraction handling,
	  support for upstream name != Buildroot package name.

	- 'make printvars' output format has changed to make it easier
	  to use in scripts. It now has options to quote the variables
	  and to show the expanded/unexpanded values.

	- Automatic ext2 rootfs size calculation has been removed. The
	  logic was not working working reliable in all setups as it
	  depends on the host filesystem behaviour, so instead now the
	  size has to be specified explicitly (defaults to 60MB).

	- The git download infrastructure now ensures that GNU format
	  tar files are created.

	- Fixed a variable clashing issue in the mkusers script with
	  internal bash variables.

	- Fakeroot now links against libacl to fix issues on
	  distributions using acls.

	- Correct permissions for /dev/pts/ptmx when systemd is used
	  with recent glibc versions.

	- br2-external: Improve error reporting.

	- A wrapper script for genimage has been added in
	  support/scripts/genimage.sh for easy use of genimage from
	  post-image scripts.

	- A script to check for common style issues in new packages
	  before submitting has been added in support/scripts/check-package

	- Defconfigs are now tested by gitlab-CI instead of Travis:
	  https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot

	- Infrastructure for runtime testing has been added to
          support/testing

	Toolchain:

	- External linaro toolchains updated to 2017.02, ARC toolchain
          updated to 2017.03-rc1, NIOSII CodeSourcery to 2017.05

	- A number of fixes and improvements to the external toolchain
	  handling, including C library detection, multilib and ld.so
	  handling

	- Glibc 2.25 and uClibc-ng 1.0.24 added, wordexp support enabled
          for uClibc-ng

	- Binutils 2.28 added and default changed to 2.27


	Architectures:

	- Support for the C-SKY architecture has been added.


	License handling:

	- The package license markings for legal info now uses the
	  SPDX short identifiers for the license string where possible.

	- License info has been improved / added for a number of packages.


	Misc:

	- Cmake 3.7.x installed on the host is no longer ignored as a
          workaround for the RPATH issues has been implemented.

	- Docker-engine can now be built statically on an otherwise
	  dynamic linked build for docker-in-docker setups.

	- U-Boot now supports out-of-tree device trees, similar to
          Linux

	- Nodejs 0.10.x support (and with it, support for <ARMv6) has
          been removed as this is now EOL upstream.

	New defconfigs: AT91sam9x5ek dev/mmc/mmc-dev, banana pro,
	Nationalchip gx6605s, MIPS creator ci40, nexbox a95x, 64bit
	defconfig for raspberry pi 3, stm32f429-disc1.

	The raspberry pi zero-w and rpi3 compute module are now also
	supported by the rpi0 / rpi3 defconfigs, beaglebone green is
	supported by the beaglebone defconfig.

	Removed defconfig: minnowboard, via imx6 vab820, altera
	socdk/sockit

	    split into several packages, one per external toolchain,
	    and a common infrastructure.

	  - important fix for musl to prevent a conflict between musl
	    and kernel headers (fixes the build of numerous packages
	    with musl)

	  - uClibc-ng bumped to 1.0.22, and therefore enable uClibc
	    for ARM64, mips32r6 and mips64r6

2016.11-rc3, Released November 28th, 2016

	Fixes all over the tree, including a number of security fixes.

	The move from fakeroot to pseudo unfortunately brought a
	number of issues.  The SELinux issue described in #9386 which
	triggered the move to pseudo has been investigated further and
	a workaround implemented and the pseudo changes reverted.

	Linux kernel: update default to 4.8.11.

	Defconfigs: Updates/fixes for imx28ek, mx6udoo, imx6ulpico,

2016.11-rc2, Released November 13th, 2016

	Fixes all over the tree.

	Architecture: add support for MIPS XBurst cores; remove MIPS
	support for M5100 cores.

	strace, openjpeg, lcms2, quota.

	Linux kernel: update default to 4.8.7.

	CMake support: fix cmake wrapper to properly pass NDEBUG flag.

	Filesystems: use a wrapper to pseudo, to better mimick the behaviour
	of fakeroot; makedevs no longer breaks of the destination already
	exists and is of the correct type/major/minor.

	Defconfigs: a few legacy and broken defconfigs have been removed
	because they now fail to build: kb9202_defconfig, mini2440_defconfig,
	freescale_p2020ds, qmx6, calao*, atmel_sama5d4ek. Other defconfigs
	have been updated: nanopi-neo, olimex_a20_olinuxino_lime_mali,
	armadeus_apf51, armadeus_apf28, freescale_imx31_3stack, ci20,
	olimex_a20_olinuxino_lime2, atmel_at91sam9260eknf,
	atmel_at91sam9rlek, atmel_at91sam9g20dfc, atmel_at91sam9g45m10ek,
	atmel_sama5d3xek.

2016.11-rc1, Released November 3rd, 2016

	Fixes all over the tree and new features.

	It is now possible to specify multiple BR2_EXTERNAL
	directories. The required files in a BR2_EXTERNAL directory
	have changed to accomodate this feature. Refer to the
	documentation for details of how to update them. External
	trees now have a name and a description. Also, it is possible
	to override a defconfig in the external tree.

	The default skeleton now uses UID 65534 for the "nobody"
	user instead of UID 99, like most distros do. See
	https://lwn.net/Articles/695478/ for a complete discussion.
	Programs and configuration files that explicitly refer to UID
	99 will have to be updated.

	When the build environment already has a suitable cmake version
	(3.1 or later), that one will be used instead of building
	host-cmake. This can speed up the build significantly.

	The ExtUtils::MakeMaker perl module is now required in the
	build environment.

	An additional check is done during the build that files are
	not installed in the output directory within the output
	directory. This happens e.g. when the target directory is
	contained both in --prefix and in DESTDIR. The build will
	terminate with an error message that specifies which package
	and which file caused the failure.

	The concept of "deprecated packages" and the BR2_DEPRECATED
	option have been removed. Instead, packages are removed
	immediately. Packages are only removed when they don't work
	for some reason. If you still need a removed package and
	you have a solution for the problem(s) that caused the
	removal, please contribute it.

	Architecture: support for sh64 removed, improved support for
	MIPS core selection.

	Toolchain: support for musl powerpc64le, mips64 and mipsr6
	toolchains, ARC toolchain components updates, gcc 6.x series
	bumped to 6.2.0, default binutils version switched to 2.26,
	default gcc version switched to gcc 5.x, Linaro toolchains
	updated, uclibc-ng bumped to 1.0.19. GCC is now always built
	with TLS support. Checking of unsafe compiler options (that
	point to host directories) has been extended with -isystem,
	-idirafter and -iquote.

	Package infrastructure: new variable $(PKG)_DL_OPTS, addition
	of <pkg>-show-rdepends to list reverse dependencies, and
	<pkg>-graph-rdepends to graph reverse dependencies. Linux tools
	are now in a separate linux-tools package instead of in the
	kernel build. Fakeroot has been replaced by pseudo.

	CMake support: the toolchainfile.cmake file now provides a
	definition of the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE variable. The
	toolchainfile.cmake also no longer forces the compiler/linker
	flags defined by Buildroot.

	New defconfigs: WaRP7, Solidrun's MX6 Cubox/Hummingboard,
	TS-4900, Grinn's liteBoard, Udoo MX6Q/DL, Qemu ARM noMMU,
	BeagleBone Qt5 demo, Digilent Zybo, FriendlyARM Nanopi NEO.

	New packages: arm-trusted-firmware, amd-catalyst, atop, aufs,
	aufs-util, fwts, gst1-rtsp-server, libglob, libite, mfgtools,
	mksh, motion, paho-mqtt-c, php-amqp, pseudo, python-couchdb,
	python-crcmod, python-cssutils, python-docutils,
	python-futures, python-mwclient, python-mwscrape,
	python-mwscrape2slob, python-pyelftools, python-pyicu,
	python-pylru, python-pyqt5, python-requests-toolbelt,
	python-simpleaudio, python-slob, rabbitmq-server, shapelib,
	vdr, vdr-plugin-vnsiserver, vexpress-firmware, xvisor, iio and
	gpio linux tools.

	Removed packages: binutils 2.24, fakeroot, gcc 4.7, ipkg,
	kodi-addon-xvdr, libgail, sstrip, torsmo, webkit, webkitgtk24,
	wvdial, wvstreams.

	Documentation: the list of packages that was present in the
	Buildroot manual has been removed.

	Legal info: the "licenses.txt" file that concatenates all
	license texts is no longer generated - it was not considered
	useful. The manifest.csv contains an empty cell instead of
	"not saved" when no license file is available.

	Other: addition of a DEVELOPERS file listing developers taking
	care of packages or architectures.
